Purpose - Find the relationship between time and distance on an incline plane.
Graphs -
Graph Time vs. Distance - What relationship do you see? How do you make it straight?
Graph Time^2 vs. Distance
Calculations
- Average time
- Formula that relates time to distance (from graphs)
Questions
1. How close to getting a straight line was your Time^2 vs. Distance graph?
2. What are some things that might have effected how straight your graph was?
3. How did the velocity of the can change during the experiment?
Conclusion-
Restate purpose.
Give the result (including the formula from the second graph and what the slope and the y-intercept mean)
Prove your result (Why can you state the relationship? Refer to the graph.)
List at least 3 possible errors. (Be specific!)
